I don't mind doing it for family or close friends, but if it is some tangentially related person I tell them I charge $90 an hour. This really cuts down on the leechers, and you'd be surprised how many people will actually pay you.
p.s. I came up with this rate because it's the same amount that the local Subaru race shop charges to work on your car.
